Ya que este mundo abandono

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER

Ya que este mundo abandono,
Ántes de dar cuenta á Dios,
Aquí para entre los dos,
Mi confesion te diré:
-- Con toda el alma perdono
Hasta á los que siempre he odiado;
¡Á tí, que tanto te he amado,
Nunca te perdonaré!

Never forget...

Language: English after the Spanish (Español)

Now that I abandon this world,
before rendering account to God,
I will tell you my confession
here, face-to-face.
I pardon with all my soul
even those people I have always hated.
As for you, whom I have loved so much,
I will never forgive you!

Translation of title "Nunca olvida..." = "Never forget..."
